Sounds like a misprint to me; I've never seen that used as an alternate
spelling. A wrapper from Le Noir Amer that I have lying around says
"Trinitarios and Criollos origins", and Google has more than a thousand
times as many hits on "criollo" as on "griollo" (177,000 vs. 113).

Maybe there's a market on eBay for rare misprinted Valrhona wrappers.
